Description: | A large shard from the base of a Roman Samian ware ceramic vessel. It is 70.2mm in length, 67.7mm wide, and 28mm thick. It weighs 61.07gm. The shard consists of part of the bottom and part of the footring of the vessel, which is probably a large bowl, maybe Form D32 dating from the late 2nd century. The foot ring would have had an external diameter of c.8omm. The fabric is a dark orange red colour with a smooth dark orange red slip surviving in most places. There are few inclusions visible to the naked eye, just very occasional thin white plates, some shiny. The vessel was probably imported from Eastern Gaul.
